Okay, so a new feature that Christina and myself will be starting is naming a reality star as that week's hot mess! This will be funny and amazing, like we try to make the rest of our blog! So, here's our first ever hot mess: BOB WHITFIELD, ex-husband of Sheree' Whitfield.
Now, the reason I have named Bob as this week's hot mess is quite easy to understand if you watch "Real Housewives of Atlanta". The man is a borderline deadbeat dad! Granted, I won't pretend to know the ins and outs of anyone's marriage, former relationship, etc. But whatever problem he has with Sheree is beside the point. Bob is an ASSHOLE because he's a professional football player and his EX-WIFE is having to take his son, A FOOTBALL PLAYER, to buy football cleats. I think that is appalling! Bob, obviously your son wants to follow in your footsteps and respects you. The least your sorry ass could do is show up to buy him equipment for the sport you've made a living from and should be guiding your son in as he progresses as an athlete. Also, if you are going to try to act like you are a good father, please at least shop with your kids (and make sure it's televised in order to plead your case because right now you need to improve your image) since your wife is already taking you to court over child support. The problem with Bob possibly attempting to deny the allegation that he hasn't paid child support is that if that were the case, it wouldn't have even made it to court. In order for a child support case to exist, as I understand, something has to be wrong. There has to be a lack of payment, failure to pay the amount ordered by the court, or a habitual pattern of making late payments. All of which still manage to make Bob look like what? AN ASSHOLE!!!! So, Bob, I heard that Wendy Williams has accused you of being a sorry excuse for a father, too. But my criticism is coming to you from a personal place. My father is a deadbeat, and there's nothing more embarrassing than a deadbeat who DOESN'T have to be one! Pay your child support! Better yet, pay your child support AND support your children emotionally and thoroughly in all of their endeavors. Hurry up, or they'll be too old to care about you. It happens all the time. Hell, it's happened with me and my father! (Photo source: http://thejasminebrand.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Sheree-Bob.jpg)
I sincerely hope you take the time to apologize to Mr. Whitfield for your slanderous remarks about him. Not only is he NOT a deadbeat, he's gone above and beyond to provide for his children only to have them come to ruin through the actions of their mother. I doubt if you will apologize because it's not in the nature of man bashers to do so... but you definitely should.
ReplyDeleteIf it's an apology you want, you'd be hard pressed to get it. When we click post, we've already thought about it. No man bashers 'round these parts, but we welcome all readers...even self-righteous ones. Proof is in the puddin', Dollface, but thanks for reading!
DeleteWoW!
ReplyDeleteNo apology needed
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay... just now getting back to this...
ReplyDeletePlease look at the court documents. The part that is important is here:
http://straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/1323874708db40450b8b.jpg
"She did not return any of the $425,000.00 that her husband paid; instead asserts that she was "holding the sum … intact, less support deductions as authorized, in an account."
Here are the terms of their divorce settlement:
In the initial settlement, the court granted Sheree the following.
A Lump sum of 775,000 USD
A yearly amount of 113,422 USD from the retirement funds of Bob
A monthly child support of 2,142.87 USD
No spousal support
The Georgia Supreme Court asked Sheree and her children to vacate the residence in Sandy Springs, GA (this is to the north of Atlanta), that is estimated at 2.6 million USD
Sheree was awarded primary custody of the 2 children who were aged 8 and 11 at the time of the divorce
250,000 USD of the 401(k) plan of Bob
2006 Range Rover Sport
The court awarded Bob almost all the real estate (inclusive of 4 homes) as well as the recording studio “Patchwerks”. This studio was established by Bob.
In the divorce there is only one ‘support’ obligation and that is ‘Child Support’. She is not entitled to spousal support.
In essence she and her attorneys have said ‘to the courts’ that she was holding the upfront $400,000.00 payment in an account and withdrawing his ‘support obligations from it’ remember,,, there is ONLY ONE SUPPORT OBLIGATION. These are Sheree’s words and not Bob’s.
Here is the kicker… the reason that Sheree did/said this (she and her legal team are the ones who mixed the child support and the house purchasing monies) is that otherwise she would have gotten more than an admonishment from the courts from her fraudulent actions against the acts of good faith that her ex exhibited. I’m really having a hard time seeing this guy as a deadbeat.
Bob did what he did FOR the children. He gave the upfront 400k so that the children could have a new home. Their MOTHER is the one who caused this to occur.
Let’s do some quick math. The kids were 8 and 11 when Bob and Sheree split. Assuming that he pays child support until they are each 18 years old then he would have to pay 10 years worth of child support. His Child Support obligation is 2,142.87 per month. 2,142.87 x 12 months x 10 years = $257,144.40. He GAVE her $400,000.00 UP FRONT! The man that you all are calling a dead beat OVERPAID to the tune of nearly 150K.
Now about that apology... that goes for you too trenapoo...
Also... just for the sake of clarification...
ReplyDeleteWhen Sheree and Bob got divorced, the court ordered them to SELL the house, split the proceeds. And for Bob to give Sheree $425K in additional cash.
The way it was supposed to work is that Bob would pay her $25K up front, and the other $400K once they sold the house. Well Sheree and the kids really needed a home and Bob knew this so Bob gave her the 25K plus the $400K up front because he'd get it back once the house was sold because there was just that much equity in the house. Bob did this BECAUSE he was asked to do so by the mother of his kids. It made complete sense at the time because then they would vacate the home and he could get it ready to be sold immediately. It was supposed to be a win-win.
And after Bob gave her the money, Sheree filed MULTIPLE lawsuits, and refused to leave the house or pay the mortgage. Eventually the bank foreclosed on the house, and Bob lost ALL the equity he had in the home.
Basically a home valued at 2.9 mil was re-appraised to be worth 2.4 mil then after the foreclosure was sold for 900k.
I'm STILL trying to see how this guy is a deadbeat.
Be Honest, You're Bob, ain't you!!!! LMAO
ReplyDeleteSoooo... basically you have no substantive rebuttal. You have no evidence to refute the facts of the case. That's all I needed to know. I'm actually not surprised however. It's a difficult thing to admit that you're incorrect. It's even more difficult to apologize when the error of your ways has been pointed out. At least you know more of the story now. Carry on.
DeleteROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!! Girl!!! Bob tryna get an apology!!!!! Bet money that's him, because that person knows TOOOO much about that case!!!
ReplyDeleteActually all of the information that I've presented is a matter of public record. It's readily available online. This would be known if the objective were to determine the truth of the matter however the objective in this case is to slander a man who has gone above and beyond in good faith for his children. Nice try though.
DeleteLmao! So basically this person is saying since he gave her $400,000, he should not have to support his own children. wow, ok.
ReplyDeleteActually that's not what "I" am saying. That is what Ms. Whitfield and her lawyers are saying and it is also what the court has accepted. She is saying this because if she does not say it then she owes her Husband MORE than the total amount of child support that she would have received PLUS possibly some of the equity that he lost in the home. Ms. Whitfield is saying that the 400K IS the support for their children. She is fortunate that Bob is not actually pressing the issue.
Delete"She did not return any of the $425,000.00 that her husband paid; instead asserts that she was "holding the sum … intact, less support deductions as authorized, in an account."
I'm quite certain that if you were to take the time to actually read the order... note.. it is an 'order' not a motion or a petition but an order. You'll see that not only is Bob Whitfield in the right but the courts 'specifically' state the following:
"She (Sheree) attempts to double-dip her relief, not only soliciting, accepting and retaining partial payment of the Husband's most significant financial obligation under the judgement but also insisting that he must remit more of the assets he was awarded for interim relief during the year and a half of post trial proceedings - proceedings she brought in bad faith. Her tactics permitted her to remain in the marital residence for more than a year past the time contemplated in the final decree. They also caused the Husband to lose the equity he had in the residence.
Under the circumstances presented, the court finds that this contempt petition is barred by the Wife's unclean hands."
Let me repeat that... UNCLEAN HANDS. All I ask is that you take an actual look at the evidence presented and what the court has actually said and determine for yourself.
Look sweetheart....there is no need to have any kind of rebuttal. We would have to care to be in a debate. There is also no need to prove ourselves to you. I don't care how long your posts are or what kind of evidence you have to prove your very long, very drawn out point. You can mosey on to the next blog or some political post berate them, judge them, and preach on about how everybody's wrong about your beloved. We don't give a crap. Thanks for supporting our blog by showing up...but reminded that this is OUR blog. We will say and do whatever the fudge stick we want to say. We won't be retracting. We won't be apologizing. We won't be bullied. Furthermore, readers who agree with us and not you won't be mistreated either. Agree to disagree and move on before some of those who are lot less respectful chime in. Jeez.
DeleteThreats? Deliberately obtuse? lol... Priceless. Oh well. My objective is complete. Thank you for your time. Have a fantastic day.
DeleteThat is either Bob or his boo! No one else cares enough to type all of that ish! I can't stop laughing!
ReplyDeleteI, too, demand an apology! I demand that Merriam-Webster apologize for the definition of a deadbeat. LOL! Keep up the great work Robin. LOVE your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys!! Only Bob would be this passionate and claim that giving someone a lump sum for their troubles = being a good dad and supporter of your kids. Lexi wrote this post, but I stand behind her 100%. Thanks for all the support and the laughs!!
ReplyDeleteI see that you are reaching. It's actually a bit funny. Why is it so difficult to admit that you're wrong about this man and at the very least recant the story? lol. I understand however because it takes a mature person to admit that they were incorrect about a thing.
DeleteThe children have a wonderful relationship with their father. The children actually enjoy spending time with their father more than with their mother in part because when they are with him they have actual beds to sleep in.
This one picture speaks volumes...

Bob has supported his children from the beginning. Who are you going to side with? The person who gave 400K to get a new house for their children or the person who has you sleeping in an apartment on an air mattress knowing that you at one point had 400K to put us in a new home? lol. Hilarious.
I am not reaching. And, thanks for the funny comment...That's one of the many reasons I blog. However, you have gotten so engrossed in trying to defend yourself..I mean....Bob that you have missed the point of this blog. If you don't like what we have to say, then you do not have to read it. My partner says what she says b/c that's how she feels and that's that. We have the right to feel whatever, whenever. The sooner you get that, the faster we can all stop laughing at you for this silly attempt at self-righteousness. Now, THAT's hilarious.
Deletesmh. I expected more... oh well. Have a fantastic day. :-D
DeleteI don't know why. This is a blog....for FUN. Expect more from your mama.
Deletelol! My mother? lol! OMG I can't breathe! Wow! Whew!
DeleteHahahahahahahahaha! This post is almost a year old. You're late on defending Bob kinda like he's allegedly late with child support! Bwahahahahahaha! : D
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhh, the sweet sound of ignorance. :)
DeleteOk are u really trying to debate about this man not taking care of his kids. SMH!
ReplyDeleteThere is no debate. I've provided actual evidence to support my position and have been met with sarcasm, vitriol and pejorative commentary. The man takes care of his children. He has more than taken care of them financially and he takes care of them physically and emotionally. The information that many of you are getting is coming from a reality TV show where Sheree's attorney of record wasn't even there nor was the actual Judge in her case there. The information that I am getting is coming directly from the courts.
DeleteAlso... if Bob Whitfield hadn't paid court ordered child support in 4 years and is actively in contempt of court do you honestly think that he'd be able to walk into a court room and NOT be arrested? It wouldn't happen. It just wouldn't happen. He would be in contempt of court and GA don't play that.
Once again are u really trying to debate over a deadbeat?
DeleteSo let me get this straight... in the face of evidence that at the very least provides 'reasonable doubt' to your assertions, your response is to maintain your initial assertion? Logic dictates that you at the very least consider new information. smh.
Deletelol!
ReplyDelete1. My name is completely irrelevant to be honest.
2. I can however assure you that I am not Bob and Bob's posterior is foreign to me.
3. The fact that it took 6 months to return to this thread strongly suggests that I indeed have a life and have been living it.
It's Bob's boo.
ReplyDeleteYou know... I do believe that Dostoyevsky wrote a book specifically about you.
DeleteOk, Bob. Buh bye now!! Please direct the rest of your concerns to your, oops Bob's webpage.
ReplyDeleteIt's OK Christina Rose... admit it... you LOVE ME!!! lol! Irrefutable logic, unabashed respect for you and your guests AND a sense of humor... what's not to love? :D C'mere pookie wookie, gimme kissie wissie! lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love.....
ReplyDeleteWho?? LMAO. Buy it for me.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute... first you talk about my momma THEN you ask for a purchase? Dang Sheree! lol!!!
DeleteYou brought it up, Bob?!
DeleteStill waiting on my kisses. lol!
DeleteWait on...
ReplyDeleteChristina... how much longer for these kisses must I wait? :-)
DeleteChristina... must I beg for kisses? I have no problem doing that you know.
ReplyDeleteAll this time and I've STILL not gotten my kisses. C'mon Christina... don't do a brother like that. :-)
